 I really wanted to participate in this challenge, but I couldn't find a model, so I used myself ( again ) as a model.

This is my second submission in a challenge. Hope my photo will do better this time.

After the challenge:

Thanks everyone for voting, commenting and adding my photo to your favorites! To be honest I wasn't quite sure about my choice for this one, I've been hesitating about a few photos for 2 days before I finally submitted this one.

I'm very happy with all the comments and this score, so thanks!

I also used this one for day 9 in the Selfportrait Challenge.

Post Challenge Results -

I expected this to finish in top 5. I'm really surprised to see it at 69'th place. This is very original, different and well processed. This is real work of art. I would like to know how you did it esp post-processing.

This is pretty cool, stands out of the ordinary.

The positioning and light remind me of Elvi.

wow! this sure does remind me of the Japanese based remakes. Like The Ring or The Grudge.

I am trying to comment on any picture I vote 4 or less. I am not professional photog by any means, but trying to justify my scoring with the hope that it helps.

Too artsy for my taste. I don't know what's there on the face below the eye, I would have scored high without that.

high-key treatment on this potrait isn't to my liking. 7

I like the composition of this shot, but the coloring just doesn't appeal to me, personally.

definitely scared me.. that eye is huge ^_^

Haha, love this, nice work on the post processing, love the gritty look. 8 from me.

Perhaps you'll call me unartistic, but this doesn't float my boat at all.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

For some reason I really liked this when I saw the little thumbnail, but was dissapointed when saw it in bigger size. I guess it's the fake skin/make-up around the eye. I think it would have looked better just without that. It's an original idea, though, so you get plus points for that. 7

I don't think studios use this type of shot, but even if they do I am not sure what is going on around her eye.
